Mazda Australia has issued a product safety recall for 1174 examples of its current-generation ND-series MX-5 sports car.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel pipe may become damaged over time, caused by vibration and extended high RPM [revs per minute] usage,” said Mazda Australia in its recall notice.
“If this occurs, fuel may leak potentially causing a loss of motive power whilst driving. Fuel leak in the presence of an external ignition source could result in a vehicle fire.
“A loss of motive power or vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders and/or damage to property.”
